In November of 2009, The 100% RAW Powerlifting Federation will return to Brute Strength Gym in Norfolk, VA to once again hold the World Single Lift Championships. Based on the success of last year’s competition and the outstanding facilities at Brute Strength Gym, we have chosen to return there in 2009. The International expansion of the 100% RAW Federation has enabled us to include the countries of Canada, Brazil, Netherlands, India, Israel, Mongolia, Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, and others. We are hoping to welcome several of our International affiliates to this years competition for a
true World Championship meet. We are offering an Early Bird sign up this year for all entries postmarked by 8/1/09. All Early Bird entrants will be entered in the Open Division for the World Championships, and we will provide “A Free Crossover” for your Age Division at no extra charge! In addition, all Early Bird
registrations will receive a chance for our raffle for a free hotel room night. We are limiting the competition to the First 100 Lifters who register. Don’t get left out of this great competition and a chance to be called “World Champion of the 100% RAW Powerlifting Federation.” As in previous years, World Championship Belts will be awarded to the following: Bench Press: – 148 & below, 165, 181, 198, 220, 242, 275 & over Deadlift & Strict Curl: Highest Open lifter, Highest Master lifter We are still accepting a few Sponsor applications for this meet, and we have vendor table space going on sale 7/1/09.
